Some people are crying because they say humans provoque animals exctiction. I'm not saying they are wrong but why is it so terrible to have something like 1 million different species instead of the 8 millions we think there are in the world.
I know diversity is important to some people but a million is still a lot.
And why is it terrible that some weird rare amazonian species with no special thing go exctinct?
There is no good or bad. If something happens it happens. From a purely darwinistic view you deserve everything that happens to you (assuming that the concept of deserving anything eve applies). So yeah, the animals that adapt to humanity should live and the ones that don't can go fuck themselves.

Maybe because losing a few species here and there might not be a big deal but losing so many species is a warning that something is wrong.
It's basically the biological equivalent of a canary in the coal mine.
Becouse we're supposed to be intelligent enough to care for and preserve lesser beings.
>no special thing
Google 'keystone species.'

Unfortunately I doubt he'd bother. That kind of tirade usually comes from someone who just doesn't care.

The extinction of a single species can have a domino effect that destroys the entire ecosystem.
Some effective predator of another species dies out, that species has no effective predator and so grows out of control, that out of control population leads to a food shortage for it and other animals that leads to a larger extinction, the animals that fed on that third species now have no food, etc., etc.
the death/expulsion of the algae that maintain coral reefs and the destruction of the great barrier reef in australia is pretty much guaranteed to cause a drastic and unsustainable drop in the population of staple fish.
Humans are fucked
